Exhibition Opening: Helga Gasser - Polka Dots

Helga Gasser (1979, Villach/Austria) belongs to the young generation of Austrian artists who focus again on figurative painting in itself, despite the diversity of contemporary artistic positions and media.
Over the past years her artwork has shown that she is not interested in hyperreal photorealism, but uses her own unique style to address genuine topics and create new realities.
She captures her personal encounters and observations by combining different graphic and painting methods with excellent craftsmanship. The viewer turns into a voyeur of intimate snapshots of the artist’s surroundings, her everyday life or a special moment in time.
Both her exhibition and artwork titles reveal a sense of irony towards her environment and lead the spectator into the middle of every day situations, which often focus on people and their relationships with the world or themselves.
She masters close-ups as well as classical composition, and under her direction real characters and animals turn into the protagonists of a unique artistic universe. - Ulli Sturm (translated by Dominique Friedmann)

About the artist:
I like logic, quality and truth, both in work and in life. In my work I’m interested in beauty. My version of beauty. And for me that comes through a variety of subjects, but always with the use of logic. I take things apart; I dissect the elements of an image and put it back together the way I see best. I view thing as a puzzle and enjoy the process of making every piece a logical part of the whole, and in the end, making the result more than the sum of its parts. I work with different imagery, such as cartoons, nature, military crafts and portraits, but always through my perception of logic. I deal with the themes of masculinity, perception and identity. © Eivind Blaker (1983, Telemark/Norway)

Spotlight:
Vincent Giarrano

Giarrano_installation
Gallery Henoch has the pleasure of representing two artists that have been accepted into the BP Portrait Competition in two consecutive years, most recently with David Kassan, and last year with Vincent Giarrano. We are proud to exhibit artists who routinely place in prestigious shows.

Giarrano was selected for his documentation of young life. Through his paintings he exhibits a unique combination of the posh-pedestrian.  We view his style concerned subjects primarily in SoHo street vistas and occasionally follow them into somewhat tumbled down one-bedroom set-ups.  Its an intriguing combination that makes you think about ones own street personality.  And in that thought we believe the sense of the city becomes especially mesmerizing.
A collection of works by Vincent Giarrano are now included
 in our summer group show: THEM PRETTY PAINTINGS, featuring 22 painters
.

Join us for extended hours next Thursday, July 24 from 6 - 8 pm.

Susan Goldsmith
Exhibition Preview



Susan Goldsmith's New York debut will kick off the autumn season with an opening the first week of September.  This will be the artist's first solo exhibition with Gallery Henoch.  Four pieces are now available to preview including Aphrodite's Gate, pictured below.

In her tightly cropped compositions, Goldsmith presents us with glimpses of nature that she often presents as triptychs & diptychs.  Goldsmith's gilt panels of silver and gold leaf resonate light throughout each complexly layered resin composition, creating a selection of work that takes every advantage of a color's vibrancy. 

Please contact the gallery for information on Aphrodite's Gate or to be placed on the preview list for the exhibition:

Chris Armstrong's new painting, White Wash, proves that Armstrong is the master of the crashing wave. White Wash captures the wild energy of these crashing ocean waves, transmitting the felt sensation of ocean mist on the face on a bright, windy day.

Rarely growing larger then 8", these particular marmosets are rendered nearly life size.

In anticipation of Alexandra Pacula's forthcoming solo show, her new painting, Soaring Empire, is now on view. Pacula's first solo show at Gallery Henoch will open October 2nd, 2014.

Polish-born, New York-based artist Alexandra Pacula (b. 1979) paints large-scale works exploring the dynamic energy of cities at night. Pacula investigates a world of visual intoxication employing virtuosic brushwork, vibrant color, and fluid gestures all simulating the turbulence of the nocturnal urban environment. Pacula's unique lexicon of mark-making combines techniques from impressionism, expressionism and photorealism. The resulting compositions vividly convey the exhilaration of a nightly excursion.

Pacula's work has been exhibited throughout the United States as well as Russia, Spain, London, and Paris. In 2010, she was the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Painting Fellowship, as well as a one-year residency at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, sponsored by the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation. In 2008 Pacula won the Saatchi Showdown Competition. Pacula received her MFA at Montclair State University in 2006 and her BFA from Rutgers in 2002.
